Description:

In this swap, you will have two partners. You will make each partner, one painted postcard (any size). Please use a recycled base of some kind...cut up cereal boxes work really well.
You do not need to be a fancy artist, just give painting a try. You can make an abstract painting, a simple painting, or something more detailed. You can use any type of paints that you would like. You can use brushes or your fingers, just have fun. I recommend putting a coat of gesso, if you have it, on the postcard first...it gives you a good base and your colors will come out brighter. You could also paint a coat of white or light gray paint as the base and then paint your picture on top of that once it dries.

Have fun.

Is it OK to send this one in an envelope rather than 'naked'? I'm guessing so, but just wanted to be sure :)

Either way is fine. I prefer mine naked but I have no problem with anyone who prefers to send in an envelope.

I think this is a wonderful swap. You can use almost any medium and use what you have on hand...just use your imagination. bearnbabs
